Guys... the creature's a fake.

It is, in fact, a prop from a public "spook-house" type cave. We get this question several times each year. There's a number of cues that it's actually a doll or prop (including the way it's attached to the wall.)

exactly what he said

A friend of mine is from Puerto Rico and he never watched the X Files. I told him about the Chupacabra episode and asked him if there was any truth to those rumors. He said yes they were raised with that legend and always terrified of it. He knew exactly what I was talking about. Every place has it legends and stories.

Despite being a fake the picture is kinda cool... just imagine getting your snaps back and finding that creature starring back at you!!!

A friend of mine who knows some puerto ricans says that they say it's all fake and based on stories...but I'm not sure on the subject... I suppose it kinda links in with the cattle mutilation phenomenon.

Chupacabra could be a marketing ploy for Chupa Chups!!

Thats disgraceful and i have now completely lost faith in coast to coast whatever its called.

That is one of the most famous Crypto pics around, it has been circulating for several years and we all know that the origional cave pic was a fake.
The peeps at this website will surely have seen the origional pic of this creature so they are just taking the piss by putting thsi up,. knowing it is a photoshopped fake!!

Ok, the first thing that is wrong with this picture is that the branch could not possible support the weight of a creature that size (I know this has been mentioned before). Secondly the creature looks disproportionate and almost appears to be tangled in the branches. Thirdly as proved above this picture has been used in many other hoaxes. Lastly I find it odd that no one in the picture (including the camera man who is looking directly at it) seems to notice or care that there is a three foot tall reptilian bipedal blood sucker mere feet from them.

THENEO

This creature is not alive. It's a statue, people.
THENEO, it looks like you didn't even read what YOU posted. On your second link, the one with the "original" photos, if you take time to read all the text that is around the picture, it says right there.

"Ok, the True Story - this is a real photo. Of a sculpture at a place called Cheddar Showcaves & Gorge in Somerset, England. A kind of park, if you will, with figures of dragons, dwarves, fairies, Demons of the Night. Kind of to spice the place up a bit."

its the grinch... duh.

Still a cool pic and a great story - especially for people who are new to this area. Thanks TheNeo!
